2012 Open Championship: How Golf Games of the Top 25 Match Up with the Course

Royal Lytham and St. Annes, home of the Open Championship from July 19th through the 22nd, will be a similar test to what golfers saw a few weeks ago at Olympic Club for the US Open. When the world’s best tee it up, they will see a rather short course that puts a distinct premium on keeping the ball in play and hitting greens from the fairways. At under 7100 yards, this is not a course that really... 

Phil Mickelson: Why He Is Slumping This Summer on Tour

Something just is not right with Phil Mickelson. The Hall of Fame golfer has missed the cut or withdrawn in two out of his last three events.

US Women’s Open 2012: 8 Stars to Watch

The best women’s golfers on the planet are converging in Wisconsin for the 67th United States Open this weekend. This is the second time that Blackwolf Run has hosted the Open, the last time being in 1998. At 6954 yards, this is the longest course in the major championship rotation this year.

Golf’s Majors: How Do They Stack Up?

Each of men’s golf’s four majors is a special event. From Gene Sarazen’s double eagle at the 1935 Masters to Tiger Woods pointing and running after his putt in the 2000 PGA Championship playoff, there is a virtual treasure trove of highlights and lasting memories that gives each of the sport’s four crown jewels something extra over just the average week on tour. Yet even some... 

Tiger Woods: Is He the Biggest Front-Runner in Sports History?

In the remarkable 15-year career that Tiger Woods has produced, it certainly is fair to say that adversity is not his friend. While Woods has come from behind on a few Sunday afternoons over the years, he has never won a major without being in the lead after the third round. Not once. For all his dominance, it has come from being in the lead. The real reason why Woods has no true rival, including Phil... 

5 Things to Make Golf Better for Casual Fans

While the game of golf is probably more popular now than it has ever been before, the sport still suffers from the perception of being elitist. When Tiger Woods is on the prowl then casual fans tune in. On the other hand, ask most people what they think of the game and you would probably get an answer that matches somewhere between the rigidity of the tradition at Augusta and the snootiness of the... 

Building the Ideal Golfer, Piece by Piece

If you could turn yourself into the absolute perfect golfer, one that could drive the ball for miles and straight down the fairway, who would you borrow from to make yourself the king of the golf world? Would you use Gene Sarazen’s laser-like accuracy off the tee or Phil Mickelson’s swashbuckling style to try any shot at any time? Would you take Jack Nicklaus’ endless patience to...

Rory McIlroy the Person Struggles with Being Rory McIlroy the Golfer

For the first time in young Rory McIlroy’s career, it is not all going according to plan. The 23-year-old from Northern Ireland has missed the cut his last three times out, including this past week at The Memorial in Dublin, Ohio.  After Tiger Woods’ come from behind win this weekend, one could get the sense that we have taken a time machine back to 2007 again and golf is Tiger and...
